Does My Dad Have Days Or Months To Live Due To Enlarged Heart?
My 80 yr old dad was just diagnosed with an enlarged heart caused by a leaky valve. his cardiologist said he would not survive surgery. They are replacing his pace maker with a different kind that they hope will help. Does my Dad have days or months or years to live?

Hi,
If they replace the pacemaker, then most probably he has life expectancy more than one year.
Hope I could help you
Wishing a good health to your father
